If that happened, Matt and Trey would do to Bird like they did to Isaac Hayes; without a disclaimer that they are friends and it was mostly in good fun.
I could have sworn, that Reginald, our ridiculously rich neighbor hauled around a trailer on his rig with various orchestras and bands depending on his mood. And for jogging or biking, he used a Radio Flyer wagon to haul around a smaller jazz band or barbershop quartet.
There is a huge supply of perfectly good used replacements out there at low prices, and there likely will be for decades to come; making the above an irrelevant argument.
This is your big chance, everyone. With the freakin' FCC out of action for a bit, you can finally do stuff like; you no longer have to tinkle; you can finally take a piss. Fellatio no longer must be called a trouser friendly kiss...
Yeah, now that you mention it, in my last squadron before I retired, we had a kid from Kenya working in Supply. I remember about a year after he joined us, he earned his U.S. citizenship. Also, one of our squadron commanders we had held dual U.S. / Mexico citizenship. He's as white as they come, but it turned out his family owned some sort of plantation down there. The U.S. government insisted he renounce his Mexican citizenship, so he did, but it didn't matter. Mexico didn't care, and still recognized his dual citizenship.
if it stops and people need to walk, someone should be able to walk a bit slower and people should be able to pass.
Might just be that I am still on my first cup of coffee of the morning, but I just pictured an escalator shutting down due to a power outage, and everyone that was riding on the right side taking a step to the left side and all politely walking up single file, leaving the right side as empty as the left was when power was still on.
Funnest games I remember on the Amiga were Nuclear War (surprised they didn't make Napoleon Blownapart a possible opponent), Ports of Call, Llamatron, and a most awesome Joust clone, that I think was simply called Jouster. I think Star Control was also on the Amiga. Then there were the Amiga versions of the various dungeon crawl games as well. Those put all other ports to shame (and I was an Apple IIGS person back then...long after I was a TI-99/4a nerd).
Well punctuation does save lives. It could make the difference between you and Granny sharing a nice meal together; and Granny entangling and strangling herself using her dugs as bolas as she tries to ward you off because she thinks you are a cannibal.
Let's eat, Grandma! vs. Let's eat Grandma!
Likewise, proper capitalization can mean the difference between you assisting your Uncle Jack in dismounting from a horse, and you and your uncle going to prison and being registered as sex offenders (if helping your uncle jack off a horse is illegal in your state).

Portability, you say?

This could be a lucrative opportunity for GM to partner with the makers of Grinder, that phone app for arranging illicit sandwich hookups.
Dammit, now I'm craving a philly cheesesteak sub.
Those superstitious nutjobs sure have provided plenty of hilarious amusement over the past century or so.
That would be their grandchildren the Boomers are selling to at a 500% markup.
Remember, the Awesome Generation (aka Gen-X) is in between the Boomers and Millenials.

Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da help!

Renouncing citizenship does not make one a deserter either, since desertion is only something that falls under the UCMJ, not civilian laws.
If the one renouncing citizenship is not currently in the military, then desertion is not possible.
Their catalog mail order wasn't that big a monopoly. They did actually have good competition in that arena from Montgomery Ward and JC Penny.
Still, the annual Sears Wish Book was always my favorite every year.
Perhaps they think the Permanent Record is real and info they can leverage.
Is it PENCIL again?
What are the odds that the first thing that will be transmitted back from Mars, if we manage to land Humans there, will be "Ack Ack-Ack-Ack-Ack-Ack!"

And unlike those sillies on the escalator, you won't be stuck on the stairs in the event of a power outage. :D
Well, my girlfriend (yes I know, this is Slashdot) once asked me, "Why do you carry your sidearm on you around the house? What are you so afraid of?"
"The fucking Decepticons," I replied.
She laughed, I laughed, the toaster laughed. I shot the toaster, and my girlfriend never questioned my habits again.
Lemmings was the Miner 2049er of the 90s.

Does this plant smell like chloroform to you?

Never tell me the odds.
The above post will become invalid in 2620.
The planet sits 3.7 million metric miles from its star. For comparison, Earth is 92.9 million metric miles from the sun.
There. Happy now?
And if I remember right, all of these retro consoles that have Adventure completely fucked up the Secret Programmer's Room.
